Question

A farm was 4 miles wide & 9 miles long. What is the perimeter the farm?

Answer 1

The formula used to calculate the perimeter of the farm is

`\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter} \\ =2(l+w) \\ \text{where,} \\ l=9\text{miles} \\ w=4\text{miles} \end{gathered}`

By substituting the values in the formula above, we will have

`\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter}=2(l+w) \\ \text{Perimeter}=2(9+4) \\ \text{Perimeter}=2*13 \\ \text{Perimeter}=26\text{miles} \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The perimeter of the farm = 26 miles
